The melee, the disaster, the destruction and the trauma that has been caused over a period of 60 odd hours is expected as terror brings with it devastation and combatting terror brings with it death and a stench of bullet riddled lives!! The win not withstanding, I think it is a time for us to raise our head and look skywards with a pride that befits a tiger and say, "We did it!" But in all this, the one gentleman who stood his ground, trembling maybe with anger or even an anticipation of what next as he spoke to the media, is none other than Mr. Ratan Tata!! I salute this true Indian. He has given us everything from Steel, Iron, Cars, Hotels, IT, Solutions in TELECOM etc.. It is all INDIAN!! I salute this man thinking what must be truly going through him when he is witnessing some cracked jokers devastating and destructing his most beloved and the flagship property THE TAJ MAHAL, at will!!! I am sure he was burning with hatred at every flame engulfing his rooms, he must be seething anger at every blast that were being heard and yet his resolute and calm have been a picture of immense control. He has withstood the pressures of SINGUR and now the epitome of the sight that greets us at the GATEWAY of INDIA.. which stands solid but looks defeated, charred by some monkeys weilding guns and grenades.... Finally its over, thats what they say. The ordeal, the drama and the trauma.... To all those who stood resiliently reporting to us the second by second happenings, to all those who willingly gave away the most precious thing called life at the blink of an eye and justa command, to all those who serve the guests who visit us and not withstanding the family they cannot give attention to.... MY SALUTE from the heart and a silent prayer to GOD to bless all!! This is dedicated to the TRUE INDIAN.. MR. KARKARE, MR. KAMTE, MR. SALASKAR, MR. UNNIKRISHNAN, MR. KANGS family and the others... YOU ARE TRUE INDIANS!! Special mention for the foreigners who were innocent victims of the madness... Pray to GOD for your peaceful journey ahead!!
